New York Fashions for Men.

The following New York styles in mems
clothing were recently described i'll Harper's

ings and checks and stripes that are not con-
spicous-indeed, are almost invisible-pro-
ducing dark gray shades, brown and red mix
lures, black and brown checks, etc. These
suits may have cutaway coat, fastened by
three CT four buttons, as the size OF tho
wcarer dictates, or else a four buttcEetl sack
coat; tho waistcoat may have 'stoph rolled
(notched) collar oI y standing step collar:
the edges arc double stitched. Trousers for
these suits-and indeed for all suits-are cut
medium wide and hang straight, but they are
not of exaggerated width nor do they have
the folded crease down the front and back
which belongs to ready made clothing. A
dark silk or satin scarf tied in large knot, IA
black Derby hat and tan or mahogany col
ored gloves with wide black stitching are
worn with business suits.
Those dressy morning suits that are worn
in the afternoon as well have G cutaway coat
and vcs6 of black or dark blue corkscrew
cloth, or of diagonal that is not very wide,
or else Of the Grape finished cloth.

New Years Calls in New York.

The custom Of receiving calls on New
Years Day, so long distinctive New
York institution, has almost died out. A
few old fashioned people and families still
adhere to it, but some fall from the ranks
even of these with every new year, for
the most loyal adherent of ancient forms
and customs is not proof against the
neglect of those whom they are endeavor-
ing to serve, and it is not necessary to
stay at home, dress, and provide refresh
ment table for cards. The truth is, New
York has become too large for the observ
ance of such custom, and social relations
too complicated. The young people do nos
care about it, it savors too much of old
Knickerbocker habits. They are more at
leisure than their Dutch ancestors. They
meet the day before New Years and the
day after. Why should they make a spe-

NEW YEARS GIFTS.
BY E. LOUISE WEST.

Mrs. Dreswen called her husband into
the back parlor after tea. 81 want to
consult you seriously, my DEAR" she said,
"with regard to our New Years presents"
s'Ah, yes" agreed Mr.. D., rattling his
watch chain with more energy than the
occasion seemed to require. ''Oh, GER
tainly!''
"You see," pursued Mrs. Dreswell,
gravely, "there are a great many people
to whom we ought to give, butt
''Ha! ha! yes indeed, butt Mr..
Dreswell opened up the interview with
great appearance of mirth.
''Of course, we cannot give to every
body. There are my family and your
family, 1 mean,' said Mrs. Dreswell,
looking confused, ''your family, and
well, both our families Our families and
their children" continued the business
like little woman, tand the servants'-
Mr.. Dreswen's strong right hand,
employed in brushing troublesome
crumbs from his waistcoat, was now
lifted impressively. ''My love, 1 sacri-

and deny myself many things for the pur-
pose of encouraging the servants to remain
in my house. Must also present them
with rich gifts? Gold from the mines of
the Indies? I tell you, Mary Ann, my
store is NO, such place!"
s'Ohr' said Mrs. Dreswen, hastily, "the
servants are of small consequence, but
what shall we do for Aunt Mary Ann?''
''Aunt Mary Ann be hangedn' said Mr..
Dreswell. He had known his merriment
could not stand the strain.
'Dut was named for her, and''-
oThen, my precious pet" he chimed i'll,
cheerfully, 'if any presents do result from
that interesting connection, they will GER

Certainly, certainly. The very thing.
I haven't much change to-night'-Mr.
Dreswell searched his pockets-'would a

smiling 'syou can't get nice shawl for

ssNot get nice shawl for quarter"
reared Mr.. Dreswell, Indignantly. ''Then

"Did you ever see white or q gray horse
overcome by the heat?" asked a well known
livery stable keeper yesterday.
The gentleman to whom the question was
directed put on his thinking cap. The rarity
of such an occurrence had never before sug
gested itself to him, and although he was
among thousands of horses every day and had
seen hundreds overcome, he could not recall
single instance in which white or gray
horse had been prostrated by the suns rays.
"The cases of prostration among white or
gray horses are very rare" continued the
horseman. awe have forty or fifty of them
among the $50 we employ, and never knew
of but one that gave out from the effects of
the heat in my experience of twenty years i'll
a stable This, too, was hardly fair case, as
the horse was pulling heavy coupe, which
was overloaded, up one of Fairmount's steep
hills. His illness was only 1nomentary, and
as soon as he received little care he was all
right again."
"Can account for itl"
swell, not exactly. But I suppose that
white or gray does not attract the heat like
darker colors. You have probably noticed
this in your dress. 4 black, shiny surfaced
coat seems to burn into your very flesh,
while garment or light colored cloth ap-
pears cool and breezy This is probably why
white or gray horses stand the heat better
They are not SO susceptible to the SUMS rays.
"Keep a sharp lookout after this, and you
will see that cases where white or gray horses
succumb to the heat are as rare as the dead
donkey in England"
veterinary surgeon, speaking on the same
subject, said that the liveryman's theory that
the light colors did not attract the heat so
readily as the darker ones was correct
''This is well known . said the surgeon, ain
many of the countries where the climate is
very warm, and for this reason alone horses
of dark colors are rarely seen. In Cuba white,
gray on sorrel horses bring high prices, while
blacks and dark bays can be bought for q
song The people of the wcalthier class will
not buy them at all, and, as consequence,
no dark horses are brought into the country"

HARNESS OF LEATHER WORK FOR DOGS.
The harness here illustrated is not only in
tended for ornament, but also to prevent the
collar from pressing into the neck of the dog
when leader is attached to it, The latter,
in the arrangement shown, is put through
ring let in the middle of the belly band of the
harness. The harness from which the illus
tration is taken consists of four straps, each
three quarters of an inch wide and long
enough to reach around the body of the ami
NAL. Sometimes light colored leather is used,
sometimes dark Occasionally strips of red
cloth, somewhat wider and pinked out at the
edge, are stitched ON under the leather. The
strips are joined and ornamentcd with gilt,
silver or nickel headed nails. These harnesses
can be purchased ready made, though many
ladies prefer having them made to order.

Christmas, with oil it happy thoughts,
Its greetings and goodly cheer,
Has passed away, and now today
We greet the glad New Year.
Yet still I'm sad, when should be glad,
To think am sitting here.
My brother and sister and wife have gone
To the land where turkeys go;
In every bone feel alone,
And my feathers are dropping low.
For what is life without wife
In this queer land below?

My family ties have been cut short, -
And I'm feeling very blue.

Senator Sumner in Hot weather

1t was seldom the case that the Senator
left Washington when the session closed. He
frequently remained to bring up the arrears
of business and to prepare for the coming
congress- Thus he was often caught in the
city by the hot weather. When tho temper
ature was in the nineties, he stripped to his
work His costume at his desk would be
white trousers, shirt, and socks with slippers;
and as he wore black tie and no braces, and
as his collar and cuffs were part of his
shirt, he did not appear inappropriately
dressed He felt the heat keenly; but as he
perspired freely it did not affect his health.
It was curious to note the gradual whiting of
his clothes. His collar would soon seem to be
hung over his cravat to dry. His back after
while would look as il it had been pelted
with wet sponges, end his white ducks as if
they had been spattered by a garden hose.
So by noon he had to make acomplete change
of clothes, and before dinner he had, of
course, to make aruther.-Arnold Burgess

Scarcely human he seems somehow,
AS he steals along the street,
Like faint shadow of bygone things,
With his listlass, frozen feet;
And he almost falls as he creeps to gate
And crouches with desolate cry:
"Mother, oh, mother, make me get warm,
Or tell Jesus to please let me dier'
wondered, as saw them raise
The corpse of that friendless one
Whether twas better to die as he died
Than to live as he had done;
And almost forgot hat he had starved,
For that cold and shelterless gate
Had been the portal to paradise,
Where the welcoming angels wait.
But yet wondered if those that saw
That piteous, still young face
Would, when they met q starving child,
Fer think of the time and place
Where they helped to lift that little form,
With its frozen look of pain,
And, thinking of him so wan and white,
Pass hungry face again. o. II.
